>>53342768>If they were from the past, how come Heath found them in the crater?A time machine anon.
Do you know why everyone says that? Because a it's literally the only plausible explanation based on how we know the machine functions in that it can send pokeballs with pokemon in them forward and backwards through time.
It's as simple as setting it for 200 years ago and sending the appropriate pokemon to close the loop and ensure the book is made, inspiring the professors to make the time machine to send them back, that's the paradox that they're named after and the one that Arven alludes to at the end of the game.
>which means that the super ancient Paradox Pokemon that are 1,000,000 years old or whatever (or all the super futuristic robots from a zillion years in the future),You know that's all bullshit made up by Occulture right? Outside of the names that they took from the book the magazines are nonsense.
That's why no one takes them into account.
>but then all of them vanished without a trace suddenly after Heath's expedition.Using what we know in the game pokeballs with pokemon in them can freely go back and forth in time it's a simple matter of either recalling them or recapturing them.
Even if they didn't the next expedition after Heath was 60 years later. We have no idea how deep this team went into Area Zero nor if the paradoxes survived those 60 years.
>suddenly they can't bear to stay in the crater and threaten to break out and overrun Paldea, leading to the Titan Donphan fight.>suddenlyThe AI professor said that Area Zero acts as a natural barrier that they can't get through but with titan Donphan's escape its clear that its not holding.
>So, what? If Heath is to be believed, then the Paradox Pokemon aren't actually from the past or the futureNo, the time machine was used to bring them to the present in the first place and then send them back.
Aside from the handful of hypotheticals this is all in game.
